Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight – November 8th

First Screen Viewing

Sharks vs. Stars – 7:30

If the Stars had anyone other than their top line that could score once a week, they’d probably be making noise about crowding into the Jets and Predators booth at the top of the Central. They have one of the better goals-against marks in the league, and yet can’t find anyone else to support Seguin, Radulov, and Benn. They’re also ahead of the Hawks, and if they have any fantasies about getting back into the playoff picture the Stars are probably a team they’re going to have to overhaul. The Sharks are the Sharks, and while they’re on top of the Pacific, and probably to stay, their results haven’t quite matched up to the metrics that suggest they’re utterly destroying everyone on a nightly basis.

Second Screen Viewing

Islanders vs. Lightning – 6:30

Wait, the Islanders don’t suck to high heaven? Well no, they do. They don’t score, they give up a ton of shots, but Thomas Greiss and Robin Lehner are stopping everything they see and some things they don’t, so the results are there. It won’t last at this rate, but whatever keeps Nosferatu Lamiorello in a job for comedy’s sake is all right by me. The Lightning are great. That’s all.
